Doggy Day Care in Kinston

About: I will love your dog as if it were my own. I have 2 springer spaniels that love to play. I can give special care for a dog that needs meds or has a special diet. I have had fur babies in the past that require special attention. I work a full time job out of my home so taking in dogs during the week is super easy as I’m home all day everyday. We have underground fencing otherwise your dog will go on a tie out. We have 2 entrances that can accommodate. I can also take crate trained dogs. If you don’t want to bring your kennel we have one to use as well.

About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs and genuinely love being around them. I have trained many puppies and have a senior dog to care for myself. I will be a safe and comfortable person for your beloved family member. I am a stay at home mom who is home most of the time. We enjoy going to parks and taking walks. I have a large fenced backyard with other furry friends to play with. I have a large fenced yard with 3 friendly beagles. Your pet will be welcomed into my home like they were mine.

About: Hi, I'm dependable, stay-at-home dog lover who provides a safe, fun, and loving environment for you're pup while you're away. I've had dogs my whole life, including two yellow labs who lived long, happy lives (15 and 12 years old.) I currently have a friendly 1-year old yellow lab who love's new friends to play with! I have another red fox lab coming soon- June 2026! Because I'm home full-time, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day- no long periods alone. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run and play safely. Our days are filled with fun activities like pool time, agility play, fetch, and lots of love and interaction. Your pup will be treated like family in our clean, non-smoking home, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to make sure they feel right at home. If you're looking for a safe, fun, and attentive place for your pup to stay, I'd love to care of them! ❤️ I can only take 3 dogs per day for daycare and for boarding. I can only take dogs that are up to date on vaccines as I am having a new 8 week old puppy joining our family in June 2026. I will ask that you please provide me with a copy of vaccines. I only accept dogs that are spayed/ neutered Pups that are 8 months old or younger are accepted. Please note; Per my homeowners insurance, I cannot accept the following: Pitbul/ Pitbul mix Rottweiler Doberman German Sheppards Chow Chow I would love for your dog to become of our pack! As much as I love dogs, people are asking if their dogs can sleep in my room and on my bed. For the safety of all dogs that are boarding, I prefer they are in a crate or in a kennel at night. I ask that you bring your own as that is what your dog is used to, it's own safe space. If they are not crate/ kennel trained, I do have a large space to roam with a fence. If the pup is a small bread I do have a play pen for your pups safety.

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from childhood to adulthood. Today, I have two Goldendoodles of my own and a kitten and plenty of hands-on experience caring for puppies. My background gives me patience, understanding, and a genuine love for pets of all kinds. I’m currently finishing my student teaching and am looking for a side gig that lets me do something I truly enjoy, spending time with animals. Right now, I have plenty of flexibility during the evenings and on weekends, which allows me to focus on caring for pets, whether that’s walks, playtime, or boarding. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Goldendoodles who love having playmates. Your pet will be safe, supervised, and have plenty of company. If needed, I can easily crate your dog, follow specific routines, and provide a calm environment to make them feel at home.

“Aramae was great with my large Lab. My doggie daycare request was short notice, but she was able to accommodate us, giving me peace of mind that my dog was well cared for when I headed into the office.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It all started when my mom’s friend couldn’t find the time to make sure her pup was happy. So she relied on me to make sure that her pup was happy. I love animals, I have my own and I make sure they get whatever it is they need even if it’s just cuddles. I am a college student, who is home for the summer and looking to earn some extra money. I currently do not have a job. I treat all pets with genuine love, gratitude, and affection. I will provide a comfortable and safe environment as well as the right amount of exercise.

“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”

Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll provide patient and dependable care while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: I had pets since I was 7. I had taken care of dogs, cats, fishes, and even a squirrel throughout my life. I even took care of my neighbors' pets while out of town. I'm not currently working but I'll like free days on Friday through Sunday. I'm available on Monday through Thrusday starting at 9am to 9pm, if not busy. I have a 3 year old male cat named Yin. I spoil him so much with treats and loving, so your pet will be treated the same. So any special requests you give me for your pet, I will do what is instructed. I have a yard, big enough to walk and play with your pet.

“Miss Juli was very nice and seemed very knowledgeable about dogs. Her house has a large backyard and is located in beautiful neighborhood. She took great care of my 9 month old pitbull mix. He came back home happy and exhausted. We will continue to use her services as needed ❤️”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was 5 (20 years). Key responsibilities included feeding, petting, walking. I have experience with golden retriever, border collie, staffy, bullmastiff, pitbull. I love medium and large breeds and small dogs are better than cats. I’m currently an online student, so I’m home all week for feeding animals. I go for a morning and afternoon walk every day and would love to help include your pet in that schedule. I don’t have any pets in the house, so I can be a private sitter, or I can have multiple dogs, which ever suits your needs! I do not have a fence in my backyard, however can be supervised or leashed for outside play/ potty breaks

About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 I’m looking to help more families in our community by providing high-quality pet sitting. I’ve spent the last 30 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a timid tabby, a playful puppy, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and medicine, I have the hands-on experience to handle it all. I know how hard it is to leave your fur-babies, so I prioritize reliable communication and genuine affection. Your pets won’t just be supervised, they’ll be loved! Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my 'office mate' for the day. They won't be waiting by the door for hours or stuck in a crate; instead, they’ll enjoy constant companionship, mid-day belly rubs, and a watchful eye. Whether they prefer to nap at my feet while I’m on a call or need a quick play break in the yard, I’m here to provide the undivided attention and 'full-time love' they deserve. Leaving your pet is never easy, which is why I treat your trust as a sacred bond. With 30+ years of hands-on experience, I have developed a "sixth sense" for animal behavior and well-being. I don't just watch your pets; I actively monitor their health, happiness, and safety.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that pets and owners can trust. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, puppies, senior pets, high-energy breeds, and pets with unique routines or special needs. Growing up around animals and spending years working closely with them has taught me how to read pet behavior, create a calm environment, and build trust quickly. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine connection I create with every animal. I treat each pet like family not just another appointment. I focus on safety, reliability, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or overnight care, I go above and beyond to give owners peace of mind and pets the attention they deserve. I will be available all summer full time from June- August as I am a high school teacher during the year. If needed I can also continue working part time during the school year. I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, structured routines, plenty of playtime, exercise, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, closely monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners always feel informed and comfortable while away. As a pet owner myself with a friendly golden retriever puppy, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and proper care. My puppy is well-socialized and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for visiting pets while still respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries. With over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone pet owners can truly count on for peace of mind.

“Sadie hasn’t been to daycare (or boarded) for about 2 1/2 years, but Alexandria put us both at ease. Her pups are adorable and I think Sadie really enjoyed herself! We’ll be back!”

“Rachel has been such a help in taking care of our pup while my partner and I work. She and the kids are very gentle with him. Getting his Rover report card at the end of the day and seeing all the photos of him having fun and how tired he is when he gets home is a blessing. Will book again :)”

About: I currently foster two senior hospice pups with a rescue and have always had a passion for caring for pets of all ages and breeds — from birds and fish to pigs and hamsters. I truly believe pets are an important part of any family, and my love for them is not just a job, but a genuine passion. With 30 years of service at the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, caring for others has always been my calling. That dedication extends to animals, too. Now retired, I’m able to devote my full time and attention to providing exceptional care for your pets. II provide personalized care based on each pet’s preferences, whether that means walks, playtime with toys, gentle affection, or quiet companionship. I make sure your pet stays engaged, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. My home is clean and pet-safe, free of harmful plants or chemicals, and equipped with cameras for added security. I always follow each owner’s rules and routines, keeping your pet’s safety and well-being my top priority.

“Thank you very much, Lannette, for taking care of Zeke for the day!”

About: My entire life has been endless pet care experience! I have lived with cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, temperments, and ages. Currently living with my own two dogs and a cat, I understand the need for a trustworthy care taker for my babies. I care about the wellbeing of animals so much, I plan on going to vet school! There is no animal that is too much for me! I can do drop in vists through out the day as I have a few hours scattered through the day between classes and practice. If you needed longer daily walks, I could take your pet out in the morning and leave them tired for the day! I could also provide short boarding services to a dog or cat that is friendly with other animals. My own animals have been around various other animals and are well trained so as long as your pet is friendly they would get along great! Every animal is different and require diffreent treatment. I approach all animals and enviorments with understanding and patience, allowing the animal to communicate their needs in any given senario. I can adjust to various enviorments based on the animal's temperment and the owner's preferences!

“Kentrice is such a sweet gentle sitter. She has her home prepped for hosting with a warm and welcoming setting. She respondinded quickly to my request for dog sitting and was available immediately to caregive to my 2 midsize dogs. Highly recommend Kentrice for your petcare needs.”
